My years on site allowed me to play a pivotal role, contributing to the seamless success of SSR Mining's acquisition of CC&V.

Now, I'm fully engaged in my ongoing HR Business Partner duties, which include: • Being a primary HR contact for employee relations. • Educating and training staff/leadership on the handbook, policies and local/federal regulations. • Organizing and facilitating engaging trainings, and orientations. • Collaborating closely with department supervisors to ensure employees are following policies and procedures and addressing any concerns from employees or supervisors. • Driving HR compliance through key reporting and requirements, sometimes within a tight deadline. • Supporting the successful rollout of new HR programs and initiatives. • Developing advanced HRIS reports using tools like ADP and SAP to give our stakeholders valuable insights. • Conducting investigations onsite, and labor grievance sessions under HR leadership. I value upholding company policies, treating employees fairly, and that effective communication is important, and most importantly that HR has the opportunity to influence visible felt leadership within the organization. Systems used: Workday, ADP, SharePoint, SAP, etc.
